Textiles and Weaving Workshops
Discover How Maya Women Create and Preserve their Culture
Guatemalan textiles are a vibrant expression of the country's cultural heritage, with distinctive features such as intricate patterns and vibrant colors. Weavers use traditional techniques and natural dyes made from plants, fruits, and insects. Each region has its own unique style inspired by nature or cultural beliefs.
Guatemalan textiles are highly valued and reflect the weavers' commitment to sustainable practices. They are a reminder of the importance of preserving traditional practices and support the livelihoods of women weavers and their families. Joining one of these workshops will allow you to fully embrace the process behind handmade Guatemalan textiles. You will share with women weavers who are proud of their cultural identities and are keepers of these traditions.
Since we started operations in 2016 we have fostered partnerships with local artisan associations and can guarantee you will learn about Guatemalan textiles from the best and most warm, thoughtful hosts. If you want to learn more about our artisan partners, visit our YouTube channel.
